When is epoch?

I hate to do this, but do you run Debian?

And I could have swarn your initial question was:

What is epoch and not When is.

But I suppose since I see no sign of an edit then I am wrong. Or am I?

Do I run Debian? No, why do you ask that?

My initial question was &#39;when is epoch&#39;, but &#39;what is epoch&#39; would have been a better question.

Barbie gets a point.

I got a few unanswered questions above, if anyone wants one.

Because I had a Debian question for you. But I guess since you don&#39;t run it and you keep saying you wish you had slackware, then you&#39;ll have to settle for this fedora one.



Bring the whole system up2date with yum. Should be one single command.

I ordered slackware yesterday

I think it&#39;s &#39;yum upgrade&#39;

The questions seem to have dried up so.....

If you have these files in your home directory...

file.c
main.c
defines.h
program.tar.gz
index.html

How can you delete the C source files and the header file only, using just one command?

I was reading about bash wildcards and found the answer to this question.


rm *[&#33;ch]

Is that right?

Nearly

[&#33;ch] means "not c or h" so you&#39;d be deleting every file that didn&#39;t end in c or h.

rm *.[ch] is the correct answer.

You could also do rm *.? because ? means one character only.
